REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

In last year’s Annual Report, we suggested that the levels of service delivered to our customers and the investments being made in our people and our 
business would set a platform for profi table growth in 2012. And so it has proved to be. Despite the economic uncertainties globally, and in Australia, 
shareholders can be well pleased with what was achieved in the 2012 fi nancial year.

Here is a selection of key highlights and activities:

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

Financial results were particularly pleasing. MMS delivered a 25% increase in net profi t after tax (NPAT) on a 11% increase in revenue. Both 
business segments performed well. Group Remuneration Services continued to demonstrate its non-cyclical nature with NPAT growth of 27% on 
23% revenue growth. The Asset Management business (acquired by MMS in 2010) also had an excellent year, with underlying normalised NPAT 
growth of 21% i.e. normalising for FY2011 tyre and maintenance release when we changed from the vendor’s accounting principles (USGAAP) to 
IFRS. A strong second hand car market, and consequent profi ts on the resale of fl eet cars, assisted these results.

Assets under fi nance increased from $220m to $262m, refl ecting the increasing momentum in the asset management business.

79% of new business and cross sales wins were in the private sector. We believe this vindicates the decision to combine our traditional remuneration 
services business with an asset manager, through the acquisition of Interleasing in 2010.

In February 2012, MMS subsidiary, Maxxia, was appointed sole provider to the SA Government for its salary packaging needs. Previously we were 
one of a panel of three. We believe this is a refl ection of our relentless focus on the execution of our strategy, namely, to deliver excellence in 
customer service and expense management. This enables us to deliver to customers the best product in the industry, at a compelling price.

Throughout 2012, we rolled out our customer relationship strategy. This is designed to take us beyond a merely transactional relationship with 
our customers to one of genuine partnership. Better understanding our customers enables us to better craft our services to meet their needs, thus 
driving greater satisfaction for customers and more revenue for us.

To augment our desire to get closer to our customers, we have created a new State based structure, where state managers own their customers 
and their profi t and loss account. Such a structure enables us to decentralise service delivery whilst centralising processing for effi ciency. It also 
provides important development opportunities, and satisfying career paths, for talented managers.

As always, the delivery of excellent service underpinned our performance. All benchmarks were exceeded. Pleasingly, our expense ratio/productivity 
also improved.

•  We  are  well  advanced  with  the  development  and  roll-out  of  the  new  asset  management  system.  This  is  expected  to  be  delivered  in  CY2013. 
Additionally, our new business intelligence capability will be rolled out during FY2013. These are both important investments in the future of our 
business.

•  Credit and treasury have been well-managed. In February, our funding lines were extended to 2015 and on better terms. Additionally, in August 
2012 the Group increased its facility from $180m to $270m. Careful treasury planning also provided some respite from the impact of declining 
interest rates on the earnings on our fl oat. Credit losses were less than $40,000 on a book of $262m.

•  Headcount increased by 124 to over 750. Signifi cant investment continues to be made in the training of our people, the identifi cation of talent and 

the development of our leaders.

FY2012  was  a  productive  and  successful  year  for  our  business.  Much  was  achieved,  not  the  least  of  which  was  the  ongoing  investment  into  the 
sustainability of our business and the improvement of our business model. Our business has good momentum and, despite the ongoing economic 
turmoil around the world, we are well placed to deliver another year of profi table growth for shareholders.

STRATEGY AND PROSPECTS

McMillan Shakespeare Group strategy remains unchanged moving into the 2013 fi nancial year. We will continue to increase participation rates in current 
employer contracts and win new employer contracts through our unique offering of salary packaging and fl eet management services. We will deliver our 
products and services through a house of brands: Maxxia; RemServ; Interleasing and Holden Leasing. Underpinning our ongoing profi table growth is 
industry leading customer service, low delivered cost and sophisticated risk management. We believe this combination of capabilities is of high value to 
customers and is the reason so many employers choose McMillan Shakespeare Group companies as their service providers.

In the year ahead, we will keep our eye fi rmly focussed on business as usual. We will also look for well priced acquisitions that fi t with, and enhance, 
our business model. We will continue to invest in our business ahead of the growth curve. Ours is a complex business, with over half a million individual 
salary packaging payments per month in the Group Remuneration Services segment, all of which need to comply with the tax laws. Developing our people, 
systems and processes is critical to keeping up with the signifi cant compounding growth numbers the business has achieved since listing in 2004. FY2013 
will be another year of signifi cant investment, particularly in IT where we are upgrading our fl eet management and business intelligence systems. 

In summary, our business is clear about its strategy and how it intends to compete. We are well prepared for the challenges of the 2013 fi nancial year 
and will continue to prepare ourselves for success in the years ahead.

STATE OF AFFAIRS

There were no signifi cant changes in the state of affairs of the Company and its controlled entities that occurred during the fi nancial year ended 30 June 
2012 that are not otherwise disclosed in this Annual Report.

EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO BALANCE DATE

As at the date of this Annual Report, the Directors are not aware of any matter or circumstance that has arisen that has signifi cantly affected or may 
signifi cantly affect the operations of the Company and its controlled entities, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the Company and its 
controlled entities in the fi nancial years subsequent to 30 June 2012 that are not otherwise disclosed in this Annual Report.

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS

Other than the information disclosed in this Annual Report, information as to the likely developments in the operations of the Company and its controlled 
entities and the expected results of those operations in subsequent years has not been included in this Annual Report because the Directors believe, 
on reasonable grounds, that to include such information would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Company and its controlled entities.

REMUNERATION REPORT

Overview

The Group’s remuneration policies and practices are designed to align the interests of staff and shareholders while attracting and retaining staff members 
who  are  critical  to  its  growth  and  success.  The  Board  maintains  a  Remuneration  Committee  whose  objectives  are  to  oversee  the  formulation  and 
implementation of remuneration policy and make recommendations to the Board on remuneration policies and packages applicable to the Directors 
and executives. For further details of the composition and responsibilities of the Remuneration Committee, please refer to the Corporate Governance 
Statement.

Remuneration Structure – Non-Executive Directors

The Non-Executive Directors are remunerated for their services from the maximum aggregate amount approved by the shareholders of the Company on 
19 October 2010 for that purpose ($600,000 per annum). The Board sets the fees for the Chairman and the other Non-Executive Directors. No additional 
fees are paid for participation in Board committees.

The Board’s policy is to remunerate the Chairman and the Non-Executive Directors at market rates for comparable companies for the time and commitment 
involved in meeting their obligations. 

Neither the Chairman nor the other Non-Executive Directors received or were entitled to any performance related remuneration or options with respect to 
the fi nancial years ended 30 June 2012 and 30 June 2011. There is no direct link between the remuneration of the Chairman or any other Non-Executive 
Director and the short term results of the Group because the primary focus of the Board is on the long term strategic direction and performance of the 
Group. 

There are no termination payments payable to the Chairman or the other Non-Executive Directors on their retirement from offi ce other than payments 
relating to the accrued superannuation entitlements included in their remuneration.

Remuneration Structure – Executive Directors and Senior Executives

Overview

In setting its remuneration arrangements, reference has been made to the current employment market in which the Group operates. The components 
of  remuneration  for  each  executive  comprise  fi xed  remuneration  (including  superannuation  and  benefi ts)  and  long-term  equity-linked  performance 
incentives (in the form of options). The Remuneration Committee reviews the fi xed remuneration component of each executive’s remuneration each year 
(or on promotion). For the fi nancial year commencing July 2012 the Remuneration Committee has reviewed remuneration based on an analysis of the 
Top 500 Report (Director and Senior Executive Remuneration) 2012, and Hewitt The Australian Top Executive Remuneration Reports for organisations with 
Annual Revenue $251-$500 Million and 301-1,000 employees.

Fixed Remuneration 

The fi xed remuneration component comprises salary, superannuation and, in some cases, non-cash benefi ts, such as motor vehicle lease payments and 
car parking benefi ts. 

Fixed remuneration refl ects the duties, responsibilities and performance levels of the relevant executive, general market conditions and comparable 
remuneration offered in related industry sectors. No element of the fi xed remuneration component is at risk.

Neither  the  Chief  Executive  Offi cer  nor  the  Chief  Financial  Offi cer  are  remunerated  separately  for  acting  as  an  offi cer  of  the  Company  or  any  of  its 
controlled entities.

Short-term Incentives 

The  Company  does  not  generally  offer  contracted  cash  bonuses  as  part  of  a  short  term  incentive  program.  However,  following  the  acquisition  of 
Interleasing (Australia) Limited in 2010, the Company established a short-term incentive program for three executives. The Remuneration Committee 
recommended to the Board short term targets to reward business stabilisation, realisation of discount on acquisition, improvement in operating profi t and 
establishment of growth momentum following the acquisition. These short term incentives were paid to the relevant executives in FY2012. This program 
has now been discontinued now that the integration is complete.

No other contracted cash based short-term incentives were paid to (or were forfeited by) any executives during the fi nancial year ended June 2012.

The Remuneration Committee also has the authority to issue discretionary (as to both award and amount) cash bonuses as a reward for out-performance 
compared to budgeted targets. Any bonus payable can, at the discretion of the executive, be sacrifi ced as superannuation. Such bonuses were paid to 
the majority of individual executives in relation to the year ended 30 June 2012. 

6

Long-term Incentives

From time to time the Company issues options to certain executives and employees under the McMillan Shakespeare Limited Employee Option Plan. 
Two types of options have been granted under this plan, performance options and voluntary options.

The Board believes that the use of options is the most appropriate form of long-term equity-based performance incentive to reinforce alignment with 
shareholder interests. All options issued have an exercise price (or strike price) and only become valuable to the extent that the share price rises above 
the exercise price. Given that options are issued at or above the prevailing market price at the date that the Board approved the grant (other than as 
disclosed in this Annual Report), it is implied that increased shareholder wealth is required. 

The use of earnings per share growth targets for the performance option entitlements has historically been adopted to align the long term interests of 
the executives with shareholders and ensure appropriate behaviours are adopted for the long term benefi t of all stakeholders. However, the Board has 
determined that use of NPAT targets for the options issued in the fi nancial year ended 30 June 2012 is a more appropriate measure than EPS targets. 
This was due to the high number of options (6,459,030) due to vest in the year ended 30 June 2012 which had the potential to materially reduce the 
EPS metric, depending on when the options were elected to be exercised. The majority of these vesting options related to options issued in the fi nancial 
year ended 30 June 2009 and were based on fi nancial targets that required 20% EPS growth (base year FY2008) for FY2009, FY2010 and FY2011 plus a 
transformational event target to achieve 100% vesting. The market capitalisation of the Company at the time of these options were issued ranged between 
$129 million to $220 million and the exercise price was set at a premium to the Company’s share price at the time of the issue ranging from 45% and 
146%. At the time of vesting the market capitalisation of MMS was in excess of $600m. These vesting options represented over 9% of the shares on 
issue. Recognising that NPAT targets are not an appropriate measure of performance when there is a change in the capital structure of the Company, 
the NPAT targets may be adjusted to take account of such changes e.g. an increase in NPAT targets would be made for increased earnings derived from 
option proceeds or an acquisition where additional shares were issued

No executive can enter into a transaction that is designed or intended to hedge the executive’s exposure to any unvested option. Executives will be 
required to provide declarations to the Board on their compliance with this policy from time to time.

Performance Options

Performance options over unissued ordinary shares in the Company are granted for no consideration and are, other than as disclosed in this Annual 
Report, granted at or above market prices prevailing when the Board approved the issue. Performance options carry no dividend or voting rights. Once 
exercised, each option is converted into one fully paid ordinary share in the Company. 

The Remuneration Committee recommends to the Board the number of performance options to be granted on the basis of the position, duties and 
responsibilities of the relevant executive. 

As at 30 June 2012, the Company had made thirteen offers of performance options in March 2004, December 2004, April 2005, August 2005, February 
2007, December 2007, July 2008, November 2008, August 2009 and May 2010, August 2011, October 2011 and March 2012. Many of the performance 
options issued have vested or expired prior to the fi nancial year ended 30 June 2012.

Voluntary Options

To provide executives with an additional opportunity to invest in MMS the Board provided executives with the opportunity to acquire options at a 25% 
discount to their fair value up to an investment limit of $50,000 per executive. The maximum discount to any one executive is therefore limited to 
$16,666. During the year, 314,578 options were issued at $1.32 each and expire on 30 September 2015 (the consideration was set at a 25% discount 
to the fair value of the options on grant date).

The entitlement to exercise the voluntary options is not contingent upon continued employment with the Company nor are there performance hurdles. 
However, if the executive leaves employment before 31 August 2014, the executive will forfeit 25% of their entitlement for $1 (the amount forfeited being 
equal to the 25% discount to the fair market value that applied to the acquisition price of the option at the date of the conditional offer and acceptance). 
The vesting date of these options is upon adoption of the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2014. No performance hurdles are 
attached to these options as the executive has paid $50,000 for the purchase of the options (representing 75% of the fair value of the options on grant 
date). The Board is of the view that the purchase of options for valuable consideration aligns the interests of Executives with the long term interests of 
shareholders, especially in light of the forfeit conditions.

(a) Entitlement to exercise confi rmed during the year upon the Company agreeing to a 36 month employment 
contract following completion of an 18 month fi xed term employment contract. 
(b) The entitlement is subject to continuity of employment and the achievement of predetermined NPAT targets over 
three years. *
*The targets are established as the same targets for the options issued in August 2011 described immediately below. 

Entire issue vests and is 
exercisable (subject to the 
achievement of the conditions) 
on 1 October 2014.

(August 2011) 
and 352,942 
(October 2011)

The options 
expire four 
years from the 
relevant date of 
issue.

The entire issue vests upon 
the adoption of the Company’s 
Annual Report for the fi nancial 
year ended 30 June 2014.

The entitlement to exercise these options is subject to continuity of employment and the achievement of 
predetermined targets, of which 100% is based on NPAT growth targets over three years. The NPAT growth will be 
based on the actual NPAT achieved for the year ended 30 June 2011 (the ‘Base Year’). The NPAT growth target will 
be based on compounding growth targets from the Base year.
In the event that the NPAT target in any one year is not achieved, at the end of the three year period ending 30 
June 2014 the actual compound NPAT over the three year period will be calculated, and if the total exceeds the 
compound EPS target for the three year period, then the executives will be entitled to exercise all the options which 
have not been forfeited.
The Board retains the right to adjust the NPAT targets in the event of a change in the capital structure of the 
Company that impacts earnings per share. Any change to the NPAT targets will be made having regard to the actual 
NPAT impact of the change to the capital structure.
In the event that the executives take unpaid leave for a period exceeding three months during any of the years ending 
30 June 2012, 2013 or 2014, the vesting criteria outlined above with respect to the fi nancial performance of the 
Company and the executives continued employment will be determined on a pro rate basis to refl ect the period of 
their continuous service during the relevant fi nancial year unless the Board in its discretion determine otherwise.
The performance hurdles are as follows.

The amounts shown for the Non-Executive Directors refl ect directors’ fees only. The amounts shown for the executives refl ect cash salary and annual leave entitlements.

Other benefi ts refl ect motor vehicle lease payments, investment loan repayments, education expenses, travel benefi ts and/or car parking benefi ts.

Other than as disclosed in this Annual Report, termination benefi ts include all annual leave and, where applicable, long service leave entitlements that accrued during the fi nancial years

The equity value comprises the value of options issued. No shares were issued to any Director (and no options were granted to any Director) during the fi nancial years ended 30 June 2011 
and 30 June 2012. The value of options issued to executives (as disclosed above) are the assessed fair values (less any payment for the options) at the date that the options were granted to the 
executives, allocated equally over the period from when the services are provided to vesting date. Fair values at grant date are determined using a binomial option pricing model that takes into 
account the exercise price, the expected term of the option, the share price at grant date, the expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest 
rate for the term of the option.

The model inputs for options granted to executives during the fi nancial year ended 30 June 2012 included:

Net profi t is considered as part of the fi nancial performance targets in setting short term incentives. Dividends, changes in share price, return on equity 
and earnings per share are all taken into account when setting the ‘at risk’ components of executive remuneration.

The overall level of executive compensation takes into account the performance of the Group over a number of years. The Group’s profi t from ordinary 
activities after tax and earnings per share has grown at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 32.6% per annum over the period from 1 July 2007 
until 30 June 2012 (excluding the gain on business combination). Over the same period return on equity (RoE) exceeded 35%.

No Director has, during the fi nancial year ended 30 June 2012, become entitled to receive any benefi t (other than a benefi t included in the aggregate 
amount of remuneration received or due and receivable by the Directors shown in the Remuneration Report or the fi xed salary of a full time employee of 
the Company) by reason of a contract made by the Company or a controlled entity with the Director or an entity in which the Director has a substantial 
fi nancial interest or a fi rm in which the Director is a member.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS

The  Directors  believe  that  the  Company  and  its  controlled  entities  have  adequate  systems  in  place  for  the  management  of  relevant  environmental 
requirements and are not aware of any breach of those environmental requirements as they apply to the Company and its controlled entities.

INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE

Under the Company’s Constitution, the Company indemnifi es the Directors and offi cers of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries to the full 
extent permitted by law against any liability and all legal costs in connection with proceedings incurred by them in their respective capacities.

The Company has also entered into a Deed of Access, Indemnity and Insurance with each Director, each Company Secretary, and each responsible 
manager under the licenses which the Company holds (Deed), which protects individuals acting as offi ceholders during their term of offi ce and after their 
resignation. Under the Deed, the Company also indemnifi es each offi ceholder to the full extent permitted by law. 

The Company has a Directors & Offi cers Liability Insurance policy in place for all current and former offi cers of the Company and its controlled entities. 
The policy affords cover for loss in respect of liabilities incurred by Directors and offi cers where the Company is unable to indemnify them and covers 
the Company for indemnities provided to its Directors and offi cers. This does not include liabilities that arise from conduct involving dishonesty. The 
Directors have not included the details of premium paid with respect to this policy as such disclosure is not permitted under the terms of the policy.

NON-AUDIT SERVICES

Details of the amounts paid or payable to the auditor of the Company, Grant Thornton Audit Pty Ltd and its related practices, for non-audit services 
provided, during the fi nancial year ended 30 June 2012, is disclosed in Note 4 to the Financial Statements.

The Company’s policy is that the external auditor is not to provide non-audit services unless the Audit Committee has approved that work in advance, 
as appropriate.

The Audit Committee has reviewed a summary of non-audit services provided during the fi nancial year ended 30 June 2012 by Grant Thornton Audit Pty 
Ltd. Given that the only non-audit services related to client contract audits, and vehicle compliance and payroll systems audits the Audit Committee has 
confi rmed that the provision of non-audit services is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 
2001 (Cth). This has been formally advised to the Board. Consequently, the Directors are satisfi ed that the provision of non-audit services during the year 
by the auditor and its related practices did not compromise the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

AUDITOR’S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION

A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration, as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), is set out on page 63 of this

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

INTRODUCTION

This statement outlines the corporate governance policies and practices formally adopted by the Company. These policies and practices are in accordance 
with the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s ‘Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations’ (ASX Principles), unless otherwise stated.

ROLE OF THE BOARD

The role of the Board is to provide strategic guidance for the Group and effective oversight of management. The Board operates in accordance with 
the Company’s Constitution, Board Charter and Delegated Authority Matrix, which describe the Board’s composition, functions and responsibilities 
and designates authority reserved to the Board and that delegated to management. The Board Charter can be accessed on the Company’s website 
(www.mmsg.com.au).

COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD

As at the date of this Annual Report, the Directors are as follows:

Name

Mr R. Pitcher, AM

Mr M. Kay

Mr J. Bennetts

Mr R. Chessari

Mr G. McMahon

Mr A. Podesta

Position

Independent Chairman

Managing Director and Chief Executive Offi cer

Each Director is a senior executive with the skills and experience necessary for the proper supervision and leadership of the Company. As a team, the 
Board brings together a broad range of qualifi cations and experience in remuneration services, fi nancial services, fi nance, accounting, law, sales and 
marketing and public company affairs. Details of the Directors, their experience and their special responsibilities with respect to the Company are set 
out in the Directors’ Report.

The Board considers a Director independent if that person is free of management and other business relationships that could materially interfere, or could 
reasonably be perceived to materially interfere, with the exercise of objective and independent judgement. More information can be obtained from the 
Group’s Policy on the Independence of Directors which can be accessed on the Company’s website. The Chairman determines the relevant materiality 
thresholds on a case by case basis with reference to both quantitative and qualitative bases.

The ASX Guidelines recommend that a listed company should have a majority of directors who are independent. The Board, as currently composed, 
does not comply with this recommendation. Mr Chessari and Mr Bennetts currently hold, through their controlled entities, approximately 8.4% and 
5.8% respectively of the shares in the Company. These Directors have participated in the growth and development of McMillan Shakespeare and have a 
signifi cant interest in the Company’s continued success. Given their history and skills, the Board believes that it is appropriate for each of these Directors 
to be appointed to the Board.

Despite stepping down as CEO in the year ended 30 June 2008, and resigning as an Executive Director on 17 August 2010, Mr Podesta continues as a 
Director of the Company. As the founder of the Company, and with over 20 years experience in the remuneration services industry, Mr Podesta brings a 
wealth of experience and an in-depth knowledge of the Group’s operations and customers to the Board. As the Company’s largest shareholder, he also 
has a signifi cant interest in the Company’s continued success. As such, the Board believes that it is appropriate for Mr Podesta to remain on the Board 
as a non-independent Director. 

The Company believes that the Board, as currently composed, has the necessary skills and motivation to ensure that it continues to perform strongly 
notwithstanding that its overall composition does not specifi cally meet the ASX Principles. Details of the experience of the Directors is contained in the 
Directors’ Report.

The  Chairman  is  responsible  for  leading  the  Board  ensuring  Directors  are  properly  briefed  in  all  matters  relevant  to  their  role  and  responsibilities, 
facilitating Board discussions and managing the Board’s relationships with the Company’s senior executives. 

The Chief Executive Offi cer is responsible for implementing Group strategies and policies. The Board Charter specifi es that these are separate roles to 
be undertaken by separate people.

BOARD PRACTICES

The Board meets regularly to evaluate, control, review and implement the Company’s operations and objectives. The Directors receive monthly reports 
from the Chief Executive Offi cer, the Chief Financial Offi cer and operational managers. A Director, subject to prior approval of the Chairman or, in the 
absence of that approval, the Board may seek independent professional advice (including legal advice) at the Company’s expense to assist them in 
carrying out their duties and responsibilities.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

The Board has delegated the responsibility for evaluating the performance of the Board, the Directors and the Board Committees to the Chairman. The 
performance evaluation includes the examination of the performance of the Board and the individual Directors against the Board Charter. The evaluation 
may establish goals and objectives for the Board and provide any recommendations for improvement to Board performance as it sees fi t. The Chairman 
undertook the performance appraisal of the Board, the individual Directors and the Board Committees with respect to the fi nancial year ended 30 June 
2012 in July 2012.

The Board has delegated the responsibility for evaluating the performance of executive management to the Remuneration Committee and CEO.

Given the size of the Company’s operations, the Board has decided against the establishment of a separate nomination committee at this time. As such, 
the responsibility for the selection and nomination of new Directors remains with the full Board.

REMUNERATION COMMITTEE

The Board has established a Remuneration Committee, which is structured so that the committee is chaired by an independent director and consists of at 
least three members all of whom are Non-Executive Directors. Details of names and relevant qualifi cations of the Directors appointed to the Remuneration 
Committee, the number of meetings of the committee held during the year ended 30 June 2012 and the attendance record for each relevant member 
can be found in the Directors’ Report.

The Remuneration Committee is empowered to investigate any matter brought to its attention and has direct access to any employee or any independent 
expert and adviser as it considers appropriate in order to ensure that its responsibilities can be carried out effectively. The Remuneration Committee has 
a documented charter approved by the Board. The charter can be accessed on the Company’s website.

The CEO carries out half-yearly performance reviews with each member of the senior executive team, comparing the individual’s performance against 
their agreed performance targets. This process was completed for the year ended 30 June 2012 with the CEO’s report to the 24 July 2012 meeting of the 
Remuneration Committee. The Remuneration Committee has evaluated the performance of the Chief Executive Offi cer for the year ended 30 June 2012, 
taking account of the performance of the Group and other non-fi nancial outcomes.

The ASX Principles recommend that the majority of members of the Remuneration Committee should be independent. The Remuneration Committee, as 
currently composed, does not comply with this recommendation. 

At present, the Remuneration Committee is comprised of four members, two of whom are not independent. Mr Chessari and Mr Bennetts have participated 
in the growth and development of McMillan Shakespeare and have a signifi cant interest in the Company’s continued success. Given their management 
experience and skills, the Board believes that it is appropriate for each of these Directors to be appointed to the Remuneration Committee.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Board has established an Audit Committee, which is structured so that the committee is chaired by an independent director and consists of at 
least three members, all of whom are Non-Executive Directors. Details of the names and relevant qualifi cations of the Directors appointed to the Audit 
Committee, the number of meetings of the committee held during the year ended 30 June 2012 and the attendance record for each relevant member 
can be found in the Directors’ Report.

The Audit Committee is empowered to investigate any matter brought to its attention and has direct access to any employee, the independent auditors or 
any other independent experts and advisers as it considers appropriate in order to ensure that its responsibilities can be performed effectively. The Audit 
Committee has a documented charter approved by the Board. The charter can be accessed on the Company’s website. 

The ASX Listing Rules require that the majority of members of the Audit Committee should be independent and that a person who is not the Chairman 
of the Board should chair the committee. The Audit Committee, as composed during the fi nancial year ended 30 June 2012 did not comply with these 
requirements at all times.

The  Board  believes  that  during  the  fi nancial  year  ended  30  June  2012,  the  Audit  Committee  had  appropriate  fi nancial  expertise  with  all  members 
being fi nancially literate and having a deep understanding of the industry in which the Company operates. The Audit Committee was comprised of four 
members, only two of whom were independent. Mr Chessari and Mr Bennetts have participated in the growth and development of McMillan Shakespeare 
and have a signifi cant interest in the Company’s continued success. Given their management experience, skills and the size of their investment in the 
Company, the Board believed that it was appropriate for each of these Directors to be appointed to the Audit Committee.

In addition, during the fi nancial year ended 30 June 2012, the Audit Committee was chaired by Mr Pitcher who, while independent, is also the Chairman 
of the Board. Mr Pitcher is a chartered accountant with over 45 years experience in the accounting profession and the provision of business advisory 
services. Given the Company’s highly specialised activities and Mr Pitcher’s extensive accounting and business experience, the Board believed that Mr 
Pitcher was the most appropriate person to chair the Audit Committee.

The  external  auditor  together  with  the  Chief  Executive  Offi cer,  Chief  Financial  Offi cer  and  Mr  Podesta  are  invited  to  attend  the  meetings.  The  Audit 
Committee also meets with the external auditor twice a year without management to provide the auditor the opportunity to provide feedback on the 
conduct of the audit and management. 

McMILLAN SHAKESPEARE LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES

17

On 25 June 2012, the composition of the Audit Committee changed and conforms to the ASX Listing Rules. Mr Pitcher resigned as Chairman and Mr 
McMahon was appointed as the Chairman. Mr Chessari resigned as a member of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee as currently composed 
consists of a majority of members that are independent and a person who is not the Chairman of the Board is chair of the Audit Committee. 

The Company has adopted procedures for the selection and appointment of the external auditor, and the rotation of external audit engagement partners 
in line with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

FINANCIAL REPORTING & RISK MANAGEMENT

Given the nature and size of the Company’s operations, the Board has decided against the establishment of a separate Board risk management committee 
at this time, and risk management remains a direct responsibility of the full Board. As such, the Board has ultimate responsibility for the integrity of 
the Company’s fi nancial reporting. As part of the Group’s risk management processes, senior management attend a monthly Risk and Compliance 
Committee, which is supported by internal control processes for identifying, evaluating and managing signifi cant fi nancial, operational and compliance 
risks to the achievement of the Company’s objectives, which are subject to Board oversight from time to time. In addition, an independent external party 
has been appointed to provide internal audit services as required from time to time.

The Company has reviewed its formal Risk Management Policy and Framework during the year, and the Credit Committee and Interest Committee met on 
a monthly basis during the year. The Risk Management Policy and Framework are accessible to all staff on the Group’s intranet and identify the material 
risks affecting the Company and the manner in which each of those risks will be managed. A copy of the Company’s Risk Management Policy can be 
accessed on the Company’s website.

Considerable importance is placed on maintaining a strong control environment. There is an organisation structure with clear lines of accountability and 
delegation of authority. Adherence to the Director and Employee Codes of Conduct is required at all times and the Board actively promotes a culture of 
quality and integrity.

The Directors have received and considered written representations from the Chief Executive Offi cer and the Chief Financial Offi cer in accordance with 
the ASX Principles. The written representations confi rmed that:

• 

• 

the fi nancial reports are complete and present a true and fair view, in all material respects, of the fi nancial condition and operating results of the 
Company and its controlled entities and are in accordance with all relevant accounting standards; and

the above statement is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal compliance and control that implements the policies adopted 
by the Board and that compliance and control is operating effi ciently and effectively in all material respects.

The Company’s external auditor has been invited to attend the Annual General Meeting and be available to answer questions from the members of the 
Company about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the Independent Audit Report.

REMUNERATION POLICY

The Company’s remuneration policy is structured to ensure that the reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. 
Further, it aims to ensure that remuneration packages properly refl ect the duties and responsibilities and level of performance of the staff member and 
that the remuneration is competitive in attracting, retaining and motivating people of the highest quality.

Non-executive Directors are remunerated by way of fees and do not participate in profi t or incentive schemes and do not generally receive options, 
incentive payments or retirement benefi ts other than statutory superannuation.

Executive remuneration generally comprises the following elements:

• 

• 

fi xed remuneration, including superannuation and benefi ts, which is set at a level that refl ects the marketplace for each position;

long-term  equity-linked  performance  incentives,  in  the  form  of  share  options,  which  incorporate  exercise  restrictions  based  on  continuity  of 
employment and the achievement of certain individual and fi nancial performance hurdles.

Cash bonuses may also be issued at the discretion of the Board. The Company does not generally offer contracted cash bonuses as part of a short term 
incentive program, but may do so in special circumstances.

Further details of the Company’s remuneration policies and practices in relation to the Directors and executives can be found in the Directors’ Report 
under the heading ‘Remuneration Report’.

COMMUNICATION WITH SHAREHOLDERS AND THE MARKET

The Company’s commitment to communicating with its shareholders is embodied in its Shareholder Communication Policy and its Continuous Disclosure 
Policy, which contain policies and procedures on information and disclosure to facilitate continuous disclosure of any information concerning the Group 
that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price of the Company’s securities. The Company’s Continuous Disclosure Policy 
and the Shareholder Communication Policy can be accessed on the Company’s website. In addition to the distribution of the Annual Report, information 
is communicated to shareholders via the announcements section of the Company’s website. 

18

ETHICS AND CODES OF CONDUCT

The Company has adopted a Director Code of Conduct that applies to the Directors of the Company. The Director Code of Conduct refl ects the commitment 
of the Company to ethical standards and practices. The Director Code of Conduct can be reviewed on the Company’s website. 

The Company has also adopted an extensive Employee Code of Conduct that applies to all employees of the Company, which acknowledges the need for, 
and continued maintenance of, the highest standard of ethics and seeks to ensure that employees act honestly, transparently, diligently and with integrity. 
A summary of the Employee Code of Conduct can be accessed on the Company’s website.

The Company has also implemented a policy on securities trading that binds all of the Group’s offi cers and employees. In addition to ensuring that all 
offi cers and employees are aware of the legal restrictions on trading in the Company’s securities whilst in possession of unpublished price-sensitive 
information, the policy also places restrictions on when Directors and employees can deal in the Company’s securities and requires the Directors and 
certain employees to notify the Company Secretary upon dealing in the Company’s securities. The policy can be accessed on the Company’s website.

The Company has adopted a Whistleblower Policy, which is designed to ensure that employees of the Group can raise concerns in good faith regarding 
actual or suspected improper conduct or malpractice in the Group, without fear of reprisal or feeling threatened by doing so. The policy can be accessed

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

1  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

(a)  General information

The fi nancial report of McMillan Shakespeare Limited and its controlled entities for the year ended 30 June 2012 was authorised for issue in 
accordance with a resolution of the directors on 6 September 2012 and covers McMillan Shakespeare Limited (“the Company” or the “parent 
entity”) as an individual entity as well as “the Consolidated Group”, consisting of McMillan Shakespeare Limited and its subsidiaries (‘the Group”) 
as required by the Corporations Act 2001.

The fi nancial report is presented in Australian currency, which is the Consolidated Group’s functional and presentation currency.

McMillan Shakespeare Limited is a company limited by shares and domiciled in Australia, whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Stock 
Exchange.

(b)  Basis of preparation

The fi nancial report is a general purpose fi nancial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian 
Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB), and Corporations Act 2001. 
McMillan Shakespeare Limited is a for-profi t entity for the purpose of preparing the fi nancial statements. Material accounting policies adopted in 
the preparation of these fi nancial statements are presented below and have been applied consistently unless stated otherwise.

Except for cash fl ow information, the fi nancial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modifi ed, 
where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities.

Compliance with IFRS

Australian  Accounting  Standards  incorporate  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  (IFRSs)  as  issued  by  the  International  Accounting 
Standards Board. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the fi nancial statements and notes also comply with IFRSs.

(c)  Principles of consolidation

The consolidated fi nancial statements comprise the fi nancial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as at 30 June each year.

Subsidiaries are entities over which the Consolidated Group has the power to govern the fi nancial and operating policies, generally accompanying 
a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. Potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when 
assessing control. Consolidated fi nancial statements include all subsidiaries from the date that control commences until the date that control 
ceases.  The  fi nancial  statements  of  subsidiaries  are  prepared  for  the  same  reporting  period  as  the  parent  entity,  using  consistent  accounting 
policies.

All inter-company balances and transactions, including unrealised profi ts arising from intra-group transactions have been eliminated. Unrealised 
losses  are  also  eliminated  unless  costs  cannot  be  recovered.  Investments  in  subsidiaries  are  accounted  for  at  cost  in  the  individual  fi nancial 
statements  of  the  parent  entity,  including  the  value  of  options  issued  by  the  Company  on  behalf  of  its  subsidiaries  in  relation  to  employee 
remuneration. 

(d)  Business combinations

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations. Cost is measured as the fair value of the assets given, 
shares issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange. Acquisition costs including advisory, legal, accounting, valuation and 
other professional consulting fees directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed. Where equity instruments are issued, the value of the equity 
instruments is their published market price on the date of exchange unless, in rare circumstances, it can be demonstrated that the published price 
on the date of exchange is an unreliable indicator of fair value and that other evidence and valuation methods provide a more reliable measure of 
fair value. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity.

Identifi able assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in business combinations are initially measured at their fair values 
at  acquisition  date.  The  excess  of  the  cost  of  acquisition  over  the  fair  value  of  the  Consolidated  Group’s  share  of  the  identifi able  net  assets 
acquired is recorded as goodwill (refer Note 1(g)(i)). If the cost of acquisition is less than the Consolidated Group’s share of the fair value of the 
net assets acquired, the difference is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, but only after a reassessment of the identifi cation 
and measurement of the net assets acquired. If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the time of reporting the period 
in  which  the  business  combination  occurred,  preliminary  estimates  are  used  for  items  for  which  accounting  is  incomplete.  These  provisional 
estimates are adjusted in a measurement period that is not to exceed 12 months from the date of acquisition to refl ect new information about facts 
and circumstances that existed at the date of acquisition that had they been known would have affected the amounts recognised at that date.

Where settlement of any part of the cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to the present value at the date 
of the exchange using the entity’s incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

(e)  Income tax

(i) 

Income tax expense

The income tax expense for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the Australian income tax rate 
adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

(ii)  Deferred tax

Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  recognised  for  all  temporary  differences  between  the  carrying  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  for 
fi nancial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases, at the tax rates expected to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities 
settled, based on those rates which are enacted or substantially enacted. Deferred tax assets are only recognised for deductible temporary 
differences and unused tax losses if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and 
losses.  Deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  not  recognised  for  temporary  differences  between  the  carrying  amounts  and  tax  bases  of 
investments in subsidiaries where the parent entity is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable 
that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Current and deferred tax balances relating to amounts recognised directly in 
equity are also recognised directly in equity. 

(iii)  Tax consolidation

The Company and its wholly-owned Australian resident entities are members of a tax consolidated group under Australian taxation law. The 
Company is the head entity in the tax consolidated group. Entities within the tax consolidated group have entered into a tax funding agreement 
and a tax-sharing agreement with the head entity. Under the terms of the tax funding arrangement, the Company and each of the entities in 
the tax consolidated group have agreed to pay a tax equivalent payment to or from the head entity, based on current tax liability or current tax 
asset of the head entity. 

(iv)  Investment allowances

Companies within the group may be entitled to claim special tax deductions for investments in qualifying assets (investment allowances). The 
Consolidated Group accounts for such allowances as tax credits, which means that the allowance reduces income tax payable and current tax 
expense. A deferred tax asset is recognised for unclaimed tax credits.

(f)  Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly 
attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Depreciation on assets is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset as follows:

Class of Fixed Asset

Plant and equipment

Software

Motor vehicles under operating lease

Depreciation Rate

20% – 40%

20% – 33% 

25% – 33% 

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at the end of the reporting period. Motor vehicles no longer 
held under an operating lease are classifi ed as inventory.

(g)  Intangible assets

(i)  Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the business combination over the Consolidated Group’s share of the net fair value of the 
identifi able assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. Goodwill is not amortised but is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment 
losses. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying 
value may be impaired (refer Note 15(c)). Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to 
the entity sold. Any impairment is recognised immediately in the Statement of Comprehensive Income and cannot be subsequently reversed.

(ii)  Capitalised software development costs

Software development costs are recognised when it is probable that future economic benefi ts attributable to the software will fl ow to the entity 
and the cost of the development can be measured reliably. Capitalised software development costs are amortised on a straight line basis over 
three to fi ve years, during which the benefi ts are expected to be realised. Capitalised software development costs are reviewed annually for 
indicators of impairment, and if indicators are identifi ed an impairment test is performed (refer Note 1(h)).

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

(iii)  Contract rights

Contract rights acquired and amounts paid for contract rights are recognised at the value of any consideration paid plus any expenditure 
directly attributable to the transactions. Contracts are amortised over the life of the contract, and reviewed annually for indicators of impairment 
in line with the Consolidated Group’s impairment policy (refer Note 1(h)).

(iv)  Intangible assets acquired in a business combination

Any potential intangible assets acquired in a business combination are identifi ed and recognised separately from goodwill where they satisfy 
the defi nition of an intangible asset and their fair value can be measured reliably. 

(h)  Impairment of assets

At each reporting date, the Consolidated Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible (including operating lease assets) and intangible 
assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable 
amount of the asset being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use is estimated in order to determine the extent of the 
impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash fl ows that are independent from other assets, the Consolidated Group estimates 
the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. 

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. An impairment of goodwill is not 
subsequently reversed. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated 
future cash fl ows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that refl ects current market assessments of the time value of 
money and the risks specifi c to the asset for which the estimates of future cash fl ows have not been adjusted.

If  the  recoverable  amount  of  an  asset  (or  cash-generating  unit)  is  estimated  to  be  less  than  its  carrying  amount,  the  carrying  amount  of  the 
asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income 
immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease, except where 
it exceeds a previous revaluation increment, in which case it is recognised in the profi t or loss.

Where an impairment loss, other than one relating to goodwill, subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is 
increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying 
amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal 
of an impairment loss is recognised in profi t or loss immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at fair value, in which case the reversal of the 
impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

Operating lease assets are reviewed for impairment on an ongoing basis and at reporting date using both internal and external sources of information.

(i)  Financial instruments

Recognition and de-recognition

Regular purchases and sales of fi nancial assets and liabilities are recognised on trade date, the date on which the Consolidated Group commits to 
the fi nancial assets or liabilities. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash fl ows from the fi nancial assets have expired or 
have been transferred and the Consolidated Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

(i)  Cash and cash equivalents

For statement of cash fl ow purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with fi nancial institutions, other 
short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash 
which are subject to an insignifi cant risk of changes in value.

(ii)  Trade and other receivables

All  receivables  are  classifi ed  as  ‘loans  and  receivables’  under  the  requirements  of  AASB  139  Financial  Instruments:  Recognition  and 
Measurement and are recognised initially at fair value, and subsequently at amortised cost, less provision for impairment. All trade and other 
receivables are classifi ed as current as they are due for settlement within the agreed credit terms of settlement which are usually no more than 
30 days from the date of recognition. Cash fl ows relating to short-term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.

The Directors establish an allowance for impairment when there is objective evidence that the Consolidated Group will not be able to collect 
all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. The provision consists of allowances for specifi c doubtful amounts.

The allowance account for receivables is used to record impairment losses unless the Consolidated Group is satisfi ed that there is no possible 
recovery of the amount, at which point it is written off directly against the amount owing. The impairment loss and any subsequent reversal 
thereof, is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within other expenses. There have been no amounts recorded for impairment 
for the parent entity.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

(iii)  Other fi nancial assets

Investments in subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost and adjusted for any share based payments in the separate fi nancial statements of the Company, 
under AASB 127: Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements.

(iv)  Other fi nancial liabilities

Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables, including accruals, are recorded initially at fair value, and subsequently at amortised cost. Trade and other payables 
are non-interest bearing.

(j)  Employee benefi ts 

(i)  Wages and salaries, annual leave and long service leave 

Provision is made for the Consolidated Group’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to reporting 
date. Employee benefits expected to be settled within one year together with benefits arising from wages and salaries and annual leave which 
will be settled after one year, have been measured at amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled plus related on-costs. Other 
employee benefits payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outfl ows to be made for 
those benefits. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. 
Expected future payments are discounted using interest rates attaching to national government guaranteed securities with terms to maturity 
that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outfl ows.

(ii)  Superannuation 

The  amount  charged  to  the  Statement  of  Comprehensive  Income  in  respect  of  superannuation  represents  the  contributions  made  by  the 
Consolidated Group to superannuation funds. 

(iii)  Bonuses 

A liability for employee benefits in the form of bonuses is recognised in employee benefits. This liability is based upon pre-determined 
plans tailored for each participating employee and is measured on an ongoing basis during the fi nancial period. The amount of bonuses 
is  dependent  on  the  outcomes  for  each  participating  employee.  An  additional  amount  is  included  where  the  Board  has  decided  to  pay 
discretionary bonuses for exceptional performance.

(k)  Revenue

Revenue is recognised at the fair value of consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are shown net of returns, trade 
allowances and duties, amortisation of pre-paid fee discounts included in deferred contract establishment costs, and taxes paid. The following 
specific criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

(i)  Rendering of services

Revenue from services provided is recognised when the service is provided to the customer.

(ii) 

Interest

Revenue from interest is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate method uses the 
rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash flows over the expected life of the fi nancial asset.

(iii)  Dividends

Revenue from dividends is recognised when the Consolidated Group’s right to receive payment is established.

(iv)  Lease revenue (property, plant and equipment)

Operating lease revenue is made up of operating lease interest and revenue from the principal that forms the net investment in the leased asset. 
Interest included in operating lease instalments is calculated on a straight-line basis for each customer contract based on the effective rate 
method using the interest rate in the lease contract, the net investment value of the leased asset and the residual value. The principal portion 
upon receipt reduces the net investment in the leased asset.

28

 
 
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

(v)  Sale of leased assets

Revenue includes the proceeds from the routine sale of motor vehicles previously leased and included within property, plant and equipment 
following the cessation of the rental of these assets by a customer.

(vi)  Vehicle maintenance services

Revenues  from  maintenance  service  contracts  are  recognised  for  services  rendered  when  it  is  probable  that  economic  benefi ts  from  the 
transaction will fl ow to the Consolidated Group. When the amounts are uncollectable or recovery is not considered probable, an expense is 
recognised immediately. Revenue is recognised for each reporting period by reference to the stage of completion when the outcome of the 
service contracts can be estimated reliably. The stage of completion of service contracts is based on the proportion that costs incurred to date 
bear to total estimated costs. When the outcome cannot be measured reliably, revenue is deferred and recognised 60 days after the contract 
terminates.

(l)  Goods and services tax

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST incurred is not 
recoverable from the Australian Taxation Offi ce (ATO). In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or 
as part of an item of expense. Receivables and payables in the Statement of Financial Position are shown inclusive of GST. The net amount of GST 
recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO is included as a current asset or liability in the Statement of Financial Position. 

(m)  Leasing

Leases are classified as fi nance leases whenever the terms of the contract transfers substantially all the risk and rewards of ownership to the lessee. 
All other contracts are classified as operating leases.

(i)  Finance lease receivable portfolio

Lease contracts with customers are recognised as fi nance lease receivables at the Consolidated Group’s net investment in the lease which 
equals the net present value of the future minimum lease payments. Finance lease income is recognised as income in the period to refl ect a 
constant periodic rate of return on the Consolidated Group’s remaining net investment in respect of the lease.

(ii)  Operating lease portfolio – the Group as lessor

Lease contracts with customers other than fi nance leases are recognised as operating leases. The Consolidated Group’s initial investment in 
the lease is added as a cost to the carrying value of the leased assets and recognised as lease income on a straight line basis over the term 
of the lease. Operating lease assets are amortised as an expense on a straight line over the term of the lease based on the cost less residual 
value of the lease. 

(n)  Share-based payments

The fair values of options granted are recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity (share option reserve). 
The fair value is measured at grant date and recognised over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the options. 
Fair value is determined using a binomial option pricing model. In determining fair value, no account is taken of any performance conditions other 
than those related to the share price of the Company (“market conditions”). The cumulative expense recognised between grant date and vesting 
date is adjusted to refl ect the Directors’ best estimate of the number of options that will ultimately vest because of internal conditions attached to 
the options, such as the employees having to remain with the Consolidated Group until vesting date, or such that employees are required to meet 
internal targets. No expense is recognised for options that do not ultimately vest because internal conditions were not met. An expense is still 
recognised for options that do not ultimately vest because a market condition was not met.

(o)  Issued capital

Ordinary shares and premium received on issue of options are classifi ed as issued capital within equity.

Costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown as a deduction from the equity proceeds, net of any income tax benefit. 
Costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options associated with the acquisition of a business are included as part of the business 
combination.

(p)  Dividends

Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the Consolidated 
Group, on or before the end of the fi nancial year but not distributed at balance date.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

(q)  Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to members of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary 
shares outstanding during the fi nancial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares during the year. 

Diluted earnings per share

Earnings and the weighted average number of shares used in calculating basic earnings per share is adjusted for the following to calculate diluted 
earnings per share:

• 

• 

the after-tax effect of interest and any other fi nancing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares; and

the  weighted  average  number  of  additional  shares  that  would  have  been  outstanding  assuming  the  conversion  of  all  dilutive  potential 
ordinary shares.

(r)  Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating 
decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing the performance of the operating segments, has been identifi ed as the 
Chief Executive Offi cer.

(s)  Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Consolidated Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and where it is 
probable that the Consolidated Group is required to settle the obligation, and the obligation can be reliably estimated. 

Restructurings 

A restructuring provision is recognised when the Consolidated Group has developed a plan for the restructuring and has communicated with those 
affected that it will carry out the plan. The provision is measured based on the direct cost arising from and necessary to undertake the restructuring 
plan and not with the ongoing activities of the Group.

(t) 

Inventories

The inventory of motor vehicles is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Following termination of the lease or rental contract the 
relevant assets are transferred from Assets under Operating Lease to Inventories at their carrying amount. Net realisable value is the estimated 
selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to make the sale.

(u)  Operating cash fl ow

All cash fl ows other than investing or fi nancing cash fl ows are classified as operating cash fl ows. As the asset management segment provides 
operating and fi nance leases for motor vehicles and equipment, the cash outfl ows to acquire the lease assets are classified as operating cash 
outfl ows. Similarly, interest received and interest paid in respect of the asset management segment are classified as operating cash fl ows.

(v)  Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate 
method. The effective interest rate method exactly discounts the estimated cash flows through the expected life of the borrowing.

(w)  Derivative fi nancial instruments

The Consolidated Group uses derivative fi nancial instruments to manage its interest rate exposure to interest rate volatility and its impact on leasing 
product margins. The process to mitigate against the exposure seeks to have more control in balancing the spread between interest rates charged 
to lease contracts and interest rates and the level of borrowings assumed in its fi nancing as required. 

In accordance with the Consolidated Group’s treasury policy, derivative interest rate products that can be entered into include interest rate swaps, 
forward rate agreements and options as cash fl ow hedges to mitigate both current and future interest rate volatility that may arise from changes in 
the fair value of its borrowings. 

Derivative fi nancial instruments are recognised at fair value at the date of inception and subsequently remeasured at fair value at reporting date. The 
resulting gain or loss is recognised in profi t or loss unless the derivative or amount thereof is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, 
in which case the gain or loss is taken to equity and subsequently recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income to match the timing and 
relationship with the amount that the instrument was intended to hedge.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

(x)  Foreign currency translation

The  consolidated  fi nancial  statements  of  the  Consolidated  Group  are  presented  in  Australian  dollars  which  is  the  functional  and  presentation 
currency. The fi nancial results and affairs of foreign operations are translated into the presentation currency using the closing rate method where 
assets and liabilities are translated at prevailing rates at reporting date and  the results for the period at exchange rates at the date of the transactions. 
Exchange differences arising from the translation at reporting date are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity.

(y)  Critical judgements and signifi cant accounting estimates

The preparation of fi nancial statements requires the Board to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting 
policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate 
is revised and in any future periods affected. 

All signifi cant judgements, estimates and assumptions made during the year have been considered for signifi cance. Key assumptions used for 
value-in-use calculations to determine the recoverable amount of assets in impairment tests are discussed in Note 15(d). 

Estimates of signifi cance are used in determining the residual values of operating lease and rental assets at the end of the contract date and 
income from maintenance services, which is recognised on a percentage stage of completion. In determining residual values, critical judgements 
include the future value of the asset lease portfolio at the time of sale, economic and vehicle market conditions and dynamics. For income from 
maintenance contracts, judgement is made in relation to expected realisable margins. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on 
an ongoing basis. 

No other judgements, estimates or assumptions are considered signifi cant.

(z)  New accounting standards and interpretations

None of the new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations that are mandatory for the fi rst time for the fi nancial year beginning 1 
July 2011 affected any of the amounts recognised in the current period or any prior period and are not likely to affect future periods.

The following new accounting standards, amendments to standards and interpretations (Standards) have been issued and are effective for annual 
reporting periods beginning after 30 June 2012, but have not been applied in preparing this fi nancial report. None of these are expected to have a 
signifi cant effect on the fi nancial report of the Consolidated Group unless otherwise noted in the Standards below. The Consolidated Group has not 
or does not plan to adopt these Standards early and the extent of their impact has not been fully determined.

(i)  AASB 9 Financial Instruments (effective for annual reporting periods on or after 1 January 2015)

AASB 9 aims to replace AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement in its entirety. To date, the chapters dealing with 
recognition, classifi cation, measurement and de-recognition of fi nancial assets and liabilities have been issued. 

(ii)  AASB 10 Consolidation (effective for annual reporting periods on or after 1 January 2013)

AASB 10 replaces all previous guidance on control and consolidation in AASB 127 ‘Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements’. It 
revises the defi nition of control and therefore, affects whether an investee is consolidated.

(iii)  AASB 11 Joint Arrangements (effective for annual reporting periods on or after 1 January 2013)

This Standard replaces AASB 131 ‘Interests in Joint Ventures’ and introduces a principles based approach to accounting for joint arrangements. 
The emphasis is no longer on the legal structure of the joint arrangement, but rather on how rights and obligations are shared by parties  under 
the contractual agreement and then account for those rights and obligations in accordance with the type of joint arrangement entered into 
being either joint operation or joint venture.

(iv)  AASB 12 Disclosure of Interest in Other Entities (effective for annual reporting periods on or after 1 January 2013)

AASB 12 integrates the disclosure requirements for various types of investments, including unconsolidated structured entities. It introduces 
new disclosure requirements about the risks to which an entity is exposed from its involvement with structured entities.

(v)  AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement (effective for annual reporting periods on or after 1 January 2013)

AASB 13 does not affect which items are required to be fair-valued, but clarifi es the defi nition of fair value.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

(vi)  AASB 119 Employee Benefi ts (effective for annual reporting periods on or after 1 January 2013)

Changes to AASB 119 relate to defi ned benefi t plans and as the Group has no defi ned benefi t plans amendments to this Standard is not 
expected to have any impact on the Consolidated Group’s fi nancial report.

(vii)  AASB 124 Related Party Disclosure (effective for annual reporting periods on or after 1 July 2013)

AASB  124  clarifi es  the  defi nition  of  related  party  and  specifi cally  requires  the  disclosure  of  commitments  involving  related  parties.  The 
Standard also introduces a partial exemption from the disclosure requirements for government-related entities which is not applicable to the 
Consolidated Group.

(viii) AASB 2011-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosure Requirements 

(effective for annual reporting periods on or after 1 January 2013)

AASB  2011-4  make  amendments  to  AASB  124  “Related  Party  Disclosures”  to  remove  individual  key  management  personnel  disclosure 
requirements to achieve consistency with the international equivalent and remove duplication with the Corporations Act 2011.

(ix)  AASB 127 Separate Financial Statements (2011) (effective for annual reporting periods on or after 1 January 2013)

This Standard deals with the requirements of separate fi nancial statements, which have been carried over largely unchanged from AASB 127 
‘Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements’.

(x)  AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (2011) (effective for annual reporting periods on or after 1 January 2013)

This Standard supersedes AASB 128 ‘Investments in Associates’ and prescribes the accounting for investments in associates.

(xi)  AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Reports  and AASB 2011-7 “Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Presentation of Items of 

Other Comprehensive Income” (effective for annual reporting periods on or after 1 July 2012)

The amendment to this Standard requires additional disclosure in the other comprehensive income section of items that will be or will not be 
re-classifi ed to profi t or loss including separate disclosure of associated tax.

(xii)  Interpretation 20 Stripping Costs (effective for annual reporting periods on or after 1 January 2013)

As  the  Consolidated  Group  does  not  incur  any  production  stripping  costs  this  interpretation  is  not  expected  to  have  any  impact  on  the 
Consolidated Group’s fi nancial report.

(aa) Changes in accounting policies

In the current year, the Consolidated Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issues by the Australian Accounting 
Standards Board that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current annual reporting period. 

There  have  been  no  signifi cant  effects  on  current,  prior  or  future  periods  arising  from  the  first  time  application  of  the  standards  in  respect  of 
presentation, recognition and measurement in the current year fi nancial statements.

(ab) Parent entity accounts 

In accordance with Class order CO10/654 the Consolidated Group will continue to include parent entity financial statements in the fi nancial report. 

(ac) Rounding of amounts

The Company is of a kind referred to in Class order CO98/100, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, relating to the 
“rounding off” of amounts in the fi nancial report.  Amounts in the fi nancial report have been rounded off in accordance with that Class Order to the 
nearest thousand dollars, or in certain cases, the nearest dollar.

2  FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The  Consolidated  Group’s  overall  risk  management  approach  is  to  identify  the  risks  and  implement  safeguards  which  seek  to  profi t  from  and 
minimise potential adverse effects on the fi nancial performance of the Group. The Board is responsible for monitoring and managing the fi nancial 
risks of the Consolidated Group. The Board monitors these risks through monthly board meetings, via regular reports from the Risk and Compliance 
Committee and ad hoc discussions with senior management, should the need arise. A risk register is presented to the Board at least quarterly and 
Credit and Treasury reports are provided to the Interest Committee and Credit Committee respectively, by the Group Treasurer and Credit Manager, 
including sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate risk and ageing / exposure reports for credit risk. These committee reports are discussed at 
Board meetings monthly, along with management accounts. All exposures to risk and management strategies are consistent with prior year, other 
than as noted below.

(a)  Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Consolidated Group will not be able to meet its fi nancial obligations as they fall due.

Liquidity management strategy

The Asset Management business and the resultant borrowings exposes the Consolidated Group to potential mismatches between the refi nancing 
of its assets and liabilities. The Consolidated Group’s objective is to maintain continuity and fl exibility of funding through the use of committed 
revolving bank facilities, asset subordination and surplus cash as appropriate to match asset and liability requirements. 

The Consolidated Group’s policy is to ensure that there is suffi cient liquidity through access to committed available funds to meet at least twelve 
months of average net asset funding requirements. This level is expected to cover any short term fi nancial market constraint for funds. 

The Consolidated Group monitors monthly positive operating cash fl ows and forecasts cash fl ows for each twelve month period. Signifi cant cash 
deposits have been maintained which enable the Consolidated Group to settle obligations as they fall due without the need for short term fi nancing 
facilities. The Chief Financial Offi cer and the Group Treasurer monitor the cash position of the Consolidated Group daily. 

Financing arrangements

During the year the Consolidated Group re-negotiated its borrowing arrangements for Interleasing (Australia) Limited to extend the original facility 
by a further year to 31 March 2015 on improved terms.

The Consolidated Group’s total borrowing facilities at reporting date was $180m of which $24m was undrawn. Subsequent to balance date (refer 
Note 29) the Consolidated Group increased its aggregate facilities by a further $90m. The level and type of funding will be reviewed on an on-going 
basis to ensure they meet the Group’s on-going requirements. 

The facilities at reporting date may be drawn at any time. Details of each facility are as follows:

Facility A: 

This amortising facility was fully repaid ahead of schedule during the year (2011 balance $17m). 

Facility C: 

The $180m revolving facility that is drawn to $156m at reporting date expires on 31 March 2015 (2011: $130m revolving facility 
that could be stepped up by $20m to $150m on 1 July 2011 and by $50m to $180m on 1 October 2011).

Maturities of fi nancial liabilities

The  table  below  analyses  the  Consolidated  Group’s  and  the  parent  entity’s  fi nancial  liabilities  into  relevant  maturity  groupings  based  on  their 
contractual maturities and based on the remaining period to the expected settlement date. 

The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash fl ows.  Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying value as the 
impact of discounting is not signifi cant.

(b)  Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Consolidated Group if a customer or counter-party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual 
obligations. The Company and Consolidated Group have exposure to credit risk through the receivables’ balances, customer leasing commitments 
and deposits with banks. Credit risk for the Consolidated Group arising from total receivables is $34,475,000 (2011: $21,979,000) and $54,416,000 
(2011: $15,031,000) arising from total deposits with banks. Credit risk for the parent entity arising from total receivables is $72,000 (2011: $342,000) 
and $7,319,000 (2011: $506,000) arising from total deposits with banks. The Asset Management business has exposure to credit risk from assets 
leased to corporate customers, mainly from finance lease receivables of $15,561,000 (2011: $7,948,000) and the amortisation of operating lease 
vehicles of $244,023,000 (2011: $210,661,000) that have yet to be invoiced as future lease rentals. Such assets are secured against underlying 
assets. 

Credit risk management strategy 

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks as well as exposure from outstanding receivables and unbilled rentals for 
leased vehicles. For deposits with banks, only independently rated institutions with upper investment-grade ratings are used. 

Credit risk relating to the leasing of assets is managed pursuant to the Board approved Credit Policy by the Group CFO and the Group Treasurer 
and Credit Manager. The policy is reviewed annually and prescribes minimum criteria in the credit assessment process that includes credit risk 
of the customer, concentration risk parameters, type and intended use of the asset under lease and the value of the exposure. A two tiered Credit 
Committee structure is in place to stratify credit applications for assessment; a Local Credit Committee and an Executive Credit Committee reviewing 
applications based on volume and value of the application. All minutes of Credit Committee meetings are reported to the Board. Additionally, the 
Board and the Credit Committee meet periodically to review and set concentration limits to effectively spread the risks as widely as possible across 
asset classes, client base, industries and asset manufacturer. There are no signifi cant concentrations of credit risk through the Consolidated Group’s 
exposure to individual customers, industry sectors, asset manufacturers or regions.

34

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

Where customers are independently rated, these ratings are taken into account. If there is no independent offi cial rating, management assesses the 
credit quality of the customer, taking into account information from independent national credit bureau, its financial position, business segment, 
past experience and other factors using an application scorecard or other risk-assessment tools. The overall debtor ageing position is reviewed 
monthly by the Board, as is the provision for any impairment in the trade receivables balance. 

(c)  Market risk

(i) 

Interest rate risk

The Consolidated Group’s strong cash fl ow from operations and borrowings exposes the Consolidated Group to movements in interest rates 
where movements could directly affect the margins from existing contracts and the pricing of new contracts for assets leased and income 
earned from surplus cash. 

Exposure  to  interest  rate  volatility  is  managed  via  the  Consolidated  Group’s  Treasury  and  pricing  policies.  The  policies  aim  to  minimise 
mismatches between the amortised value of lease contracts and the sources of financing to mitigate repricing and basis risk.  Mismatch and 
funding graphs including sensitivity analysis, are reported monthly to the Board along with the minutes of the monthly Interest Committee 
meetings.  

Interest rate risk arises where movements in interest rates affect the net margins on existing contracts for assets leased.  As the Consolidated 
Group carries signifi cant cash and borrowings, movements in interest rates can affect net income to the Consolidated Group, particularly for 
the Consolidated Group Remuneration services segment.

Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Consolidated Group to repricing interest rate risk. As at the end of the reporting period, the 
Consolidated Group had $156,000,000 (2011: $113,000,000) variable rate borrowings under long-term revolving facilities attributable to 
the Asset Management business and no borrowings (2011: $17,000,000) for other Consolidated Group requirements. The weighted average 
interest rate was 5.07% (2011: 5.06%) for the $156,000,000 (2011: $113,000,000) which is used as an input to asset repricing decisions. 
An analysis of maturities is provided in note 2(a). 

To mitigate the cash fl ow volatility arising from interest rate movements, the Group has entered into interest rate swaps, to exchange, at 
specifi ed  periods,  the  difference  between  fi xed  and  variable  rate  interest  amounts  calculated  on  contracted  notional  principal  amounts. 
The contracts require settlement of net interest receivable or payable on a quarterly basis. These swaps are designated to hedge underlying 
borrowing obligations and match the interest-repricing profi le of the lease portfolio in order to preserve the contracted net interest margin. 
At 30 June 2012, the Consolidated Group’s borrowings for the Asset Management business of $156,000,000 (2011: $113,000,000) were 
covered by interest rate swaps at a fi xed rate of interest of 5.58% (2011:  5.25%). 

The Consolidated Group’s interest rate risk also arises from cash at bank and deposits, which are at floating interest rates. 

At reporting date, the Consolidated Group had the following variable rate fi nancial assets and liabilities outstanding:

Cash and deposits

Bank loans (Group other)

Bank loans (Asset Management segment)

Interest rate swaps (notional amounts)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

Sensitivity analysis – floating interest rates:

At 30 June 2012, the Consolidated Group’s and parent entity’s cash and cash equivalents give rise to credit and interest rate risk. If the Australian 
interest rate weakened or strengthened by 100 basis points, being the Consolidated Group’s view of possible fl uctuation, and all other variables 
were held constant, the Consolidated Group’s post-tax profit for the year would have been $597,940 (2011: $56,238) higher or lower and the parent 
entity $51,233 (2011: $115,458) higher or lower, depending on which way the interest rates moved based on the cash and cash equivalents and 
borrowings balances at reporting date. 

(ii)  Foreign currency risk

The Consolidated Group’s transactions are pre-dominantly denominated in Australian dollars which is the functional and presentation currency. 

(iii)  Other market price risk

The Consolidated Group does not engage in any transactions that give rise to any other market risks.

(d)  Asset risk

The Consolidated Group’s exposure to asset risk is mainly from the residual value of assets under lease and the maintenance and tyre obligations to 
meet claims for these services sold to customers. Residual value is an estimate of the value of an asset at the end of the lease. This estimate, which 
is formed at the inception of the lease and any subsequent impairment, exposes the Consolidated Group to potential loss from resale if the market 
price is lower than the value as recorded in the books. The risk relating to maintenance and tyre services arises where the costs to meet customer 
claims over the contracted period exceed estimates made at inception. 

The  Consolidated  Group  continuously  reviews  the  portfolio’s  residual  values  via  a  Residual  Value  Committee  comprising  experienced  senior 
staff with a balance of disciplines and responsibilities, who measure and report all matters of risk that could potentially affect residual values 
and maintenance costs and matters that can mitigate the Consolidated Group from these exposures. The asset risk policy sets out a framework to 
measure and factor into their assessment such critical variables as used car market dynamics, economic conditions, government policies, the credit 
market and the condition of assets under lease. At reporting date, the portfolio of motor vehicles under operating lease of $244,023,000 (2011: 
$210,661,000) included a residual value provision of $1,907,000 (2011: $1,303,000).

(e)  Fair value measurements

The fair value of fi nancial assets and fi nancial liabilities is estimated for recognition and measurement for disclosure purposes.

The following table is an analysis of fi nancial instruments that are measured at fair value subsequent to initial recognition, grouped into three levels 
based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.

• 

• 

Level 1: derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2:  derived  from  inputs  other  than  quoted  prices  included  in  level  1  that  are  observable  for  the  asset  or  liability,  either  directly 
(ie as prices) or indirectly (ie derived from prices).

• 

Level 3: derived  from inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

(b)  Concentration of risk

The Consolidated Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date by geographic region is predominantly in Australia based on the 
location of trades and economic activity.

Approximately  38%  (2011:  25%)  of  the  Consolidated  Group’s  trade  receivables  relate  to  customers  for  the  supply  of  vehicle  leasing  related 
services. Management have assessed this concentration of risk and are satisfi ed with the strategies employed in ensuring the exposure to this risk 
is minimal. Management considers that no other signifi cant concentrations of risk within trade receivables exist.

(c)  Other receivables

These  amounts  generally  arise  from  transactions  outside  the  usual  operating  activities  of  the  Consolidated  Group.  None  of  the  other  current 
receivables are impaired or past due.

(c)  Impairment test for goodwill

Goodwill  is  allocated  to  the  Consolidated  Group’s  cash-generating  units  (CGUs)  identifi ed  arising  from  the  acquisitions  of  subsidiaries.  The 
carrying amount of goodwill allocated to each CGU:

Maxxia Pty Limited

9,102

33,292

2011
$’000

24,190

9,102

33,292

The recoverable amount of each CGU above is determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations use the present value of cash 
fl ow projections based on fi nancial budgets approved by management covering a fi ve-year period.

(d)  Key assumptions used for value-in-use calculations

Maxxia Pty Limited

Discount rate 

2012
%

17.54

17.54

2011
%

16.20

16.20

The budgets use historical average growth rates to project revenue. Costs are determined taking into account historical margins and estimated cost 
increases. Cash fl ows beyond the fi ve-year period are extrapolated using a zero growth rate for conservatism. The growth rate does not exceed the 
long-term average growth rate for the business in which the CGU operates.

In performing the value-in-use calculations for each CGU, the Consolidated Group has applied pre-tax discount rates to discount the forecast future 
attributable pre-tax cash fl ows. The equivalent pre-tax discount rates are disclosed above. The discount rates used refl ect specifi c risks relating to 
the relevant business each subsidiary is operating in.

These assumptions have been used for the analysis of each CGU within each subsidiary. 

The recoverable amounts of the CGUs exceed the carrying amounts by substantial margins. Consequently, a sensitivity analysis of possible changes 
in key assumptions is not considered necessary.

The parent entity guarantees a bank loan of a subsidiary of $156,000,000 (2011: $113,000,000). 

Fixed and fl oating charges are provided by the Consolidated Group in respect to fi nancing facilities. 

The  Consolidated  Group’s  loans  are  also  secured  by  other  pledges  by  the  Interleasing  Group  receiving  the  loans  to  the  following  fi nancial 
undertakings:

(i)  Negative pledge that imposes certain covenants including a restriction to provide other security over its assets, incurring further debt other 

than with the existing fi nancier, disposal of a substantial part of its business, reduction of its capital; and

(ii)  Financial undertakings that include the maintenance of gearing of no less than 75% and certain asset management portfolio performance 

indicators.

(b)  Fair value disclosures

The fair value of fi nancial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash fl ows at the current market 
interest rate that is available to the Consolidated Group for similar fi nancial instruments. The fair value of current borrowings approximates the 
carrying amount, as the impact of discounting is not signifi cant.

(c)  Risk exposures

Details of the Consolidated Group’s exposure to risks arising from current and non-current borrowings are set out in Note 2.

Details relating to options issued, exercised and lapsed during the year and options outstanding at the end of the reporting period is set out in 
Note 27 on page 55.

(d)  Capital management strategy

The Consolidated Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to 
provide returns for shareholders and benefi ts for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In 
order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Consolidated Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to 
shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.

The Consolidated Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt 
is calculated as long and short term borrowings (excluding derivatives and fi nancial guarantees) less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is 
calculated as equity as shown in the statement of fi nancial position plus net debt.

The Consolidated Groups’ gearing ratio was 38% (2011: 50%) calculated as net debt of $101,391,000 (2011: $114,454,000) divided by total 
capital of $269,442,000. 

The parent entity’s borrowing facility included the maintenance of the Consolidated Group’s equity that was no less than $65,000,000 and the 
dividend payout to earnings after tax ratio to not exceed 65%. During the year the banking facility covenants of the parent entity were complied 
with. Following the parent entity’s repayment of the facility during the year, these borrowing covenants were no longer required at the end of the 
reporting period.

The Consolidated Group’s Risk and Compliance Committee reviews the capital structure of the Consolidated Group on an on-going basis. As part 
of this review the committee considers the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital.

24  SEGMENT REPORTING

Reportable segments

(a)  Description of Segments

The Consolidated Group has identifi ed its operating segments based on the internal reports reviewed and used by the Consolidated Group’s chief 
decision maker (the CEO) to determine business performance and resource allocation. Operating segments have been identifi ed after considering 
the nature of the products and services, nature of the production processes, type of customer and distribution methods. 

Two reportable segments have been identifi ed “Group Remuneration Services” and “Asset Management”, in accordance with AASB8 “Operating 
Segments” based on aggregating operating segments taking into account the nature of the business services and products sold and the associated 
business and fi nancial risks and how they affect the pricing and rates of return.

Group Remuneration Services - This segment provides administrative services in respect of salary packaging and facilitates the settlement of motor 
vehicle novated leases for customers, but does not provide fi nancing. The segment also provides ancillary services associated with motor vehicle 
novated lease products.

Asset Management - This segment provides fi nancing and ancillary management services associated with motor vehicles, commercial vehicles 
and equipment.

(b)  Segment information provided to the Chief Decision Maker 

The following is an analysis of the Consolidated Group’s revenue and results from operations by reportable segment.

Segment revenue above represents sales to external customers and excludes inter-segment sales, consistent with the basis by which the fi nancial 
information is presented to the Chief Decision Maker.

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the Consolidated Group’s policies. Segment profi t includes the segment’s share 
of centralised general management and operational support services which are shared across segments based on the lowest unit of measurement 
available to allocate shared costs that reasonably measure each segment’s service level requirements and consumption. Segment profi t does 
not include corporate costs of the parent entity, including listing and company fees, director’s fees and fi nance costs relating to borrowings not 
specifi cally sourced for segment operations or interest revenue not directly attributable to a segment.

Included in the revenue for the Group Remuneration Services segment are revenues of $52,989,000 (2011: $41,319,000) from the Consolidated 
Group’s largest customer.

The Consolidated Group’s operations and its customers are located predominantly in Australia.

The segment information with respect to total assets is measured in a consistent manner with that of the fi nancial statements.  These assets 
are allocated based on the operations of the segment and the physical location of the asset.

The parent entity’s borrowings are not considered to be segment liabilities.

Segment profi ts are now reported to include income tax instead of being stated before tax as was the case in the previous year to refl ect the 
Chief Decision Maker’s current basis of review. Consequently, segment assets and liabilities in 2011 have been re-stated to include deferred 
tax  asset  in  segment  assets  (2011:  Group  Remuneration  Services  $1,068,000,  Asset  Management  $172,000)  and  income  tax  provision 
(2011: Group Remuneration Services $4,399,000, Asset Management $2,353,000) in segment liabilities with corresponding adjustments to 
unallocated assets and unallocated liabilities respectively.

The reportable segments’ assets and liabilities are reconciled to total assets as follows:

Group Remuneration Services

Asset Management

Segment assets

Non-segment assets

Unallocated assets (1)

Consolidated assets per statement of fi nancial position

Segment liabilities

All assets and liabilities are located in Australia.

The Company issued options to certain executives and employees under the McMillan Shakespeare Limited Employee Option Plan. Two types of 
options have been granted under this plan, performance options and voluntary options.

No executive can enter into a transaction that is designed or intended to hedge the executive’s exposure to any unvested option. Executives will be 
required to provide declarations to the Board on their compliance with this policy from time to time.

Performance Options 

Performance options over unissued ordinary shares in the Company are granted for no consideration and are, other than as disclosed in this Annual 
Report, granted at or above market prices prevailing when the Board approved the issue. Performance options carry no dividend or voting rights. 
Once exercised, each option is converted into one fully paid ordinary share in the Company. 

The Remuneration Committee recommends to the Board the number of performance options to be granted on the basis of the position, duties and 
responsibilities of the relevant executive. 

As at 30 June 2012, the Company had made thirteen offers of performance options in March 2004, December 2004, April 2005, August 2005, 
February 2007, December 2007, July 2008, November 2008, August 2009 and May 2010, August 2011, October 2011 and March 2012. Many of 
the performance options issued have vested or expired prior to the fi nancial year ended 30 June 2012.

Voluntary Options
Voluntary options were fi rst granted during the year. 314,578 options were issued at $1.32 each and expire on 30 September 2015 (the consideration 
was set at a 25% discount to the fair value of the options on grant date) up to an investment limit of $50,000 per executive. The maximum discount 
to any one executive is therefore limited to $16,666.
The entitlement to exercise the voluntary options is not contingent upon continued employment with the Company nor are there performance 
hurdles. However, if the executive leaves employment before 31 August 2014, the executive will forfeit 25% of their entitlement for $1 (the amount 
forfeited being equal to the 25% discount to the fair market value that applied to the acquisition price of the option at the date of the conditional offer 
and acceptance). The vesting date of these options is upon adoption of the Company’s 2014 Annual Report. No performance hurdles are attached 
to these options as the executive has paid $50,000 for the purchase of the options (representing 75% of the fair value of the options on grant date).

contract following completion of an 18 month fi xed term employment contract. 

(b) The entitlement is subject to continuity of employment and the achievement of predetermined NPAT targets over 
three years. *
*The targets are established as the same targets for the options issued in August 2011 described immediately below.

(March 2012) 

The options 
expire four 
years from the 
relevant date of 
issue.

The entitlement to exercise these options is subject to continuity of employment and the achievement of 
predetermined targets, of which 100% is based on NPAT growth targets over three years. The NPAT growth will be 
based on the actual NPAT achieved for the year ended 30 June 2012 (the ‘Base Year’). The NPAT growth target will 
be based on compounding growth targets from the Base year.

The entire issue vests upon 
the adoption of the Company’s 
Annual Report for the fi nancial 
year ended 30 June 2014.

In the event that the NPAT target in any one year is not achieved, at the end of the three year period ending 30 
June 2014 the actual compound NPAT over the three year period will be calculated, and if the total exceeds the 
compound EPS target for the three year period, then the executives will be entitled to exercise all the options which 
have not been forfeited.

The Board retains the right to adjust the NPAT targets in the event of a change in the capital structure of the 
Company that impacts earnings per share. Any change to the NPAT targets will be made having regard to the actual 
NPAT impact of the change to the capital structure.

In the event that the executives take unpaid leave for a period exceeding three months during any of the years ending 
30 June 2012, 2013 and 2014, the vesting criteria outlined above with respect to the fi nancial performance of the 
Company and the executives continued employment will be determined on a pro rate basis to refl ect the period of 
his continuous service during the relevant fi nancial year, unless the Board in its discretion determine otherwise.

The performance hurdles are as follows.
